Proper final - TV ratings must have been off the charts!

Shout out to that imaginary kiddo who played B-Ball with me as a barefooded little lad at the Copacabana when everybody else was playing football.
 
Draft and Free Agency are probably coming later today, but here's something:

That makes it an even 30. There will be an expansion draft, where they can select one player from each team up to a maximum of 14. Teams can protect 8 of their players from selection. I suspect all of you will be protected, so this probably won't have much of an impact. But 4 of you (altodevil, hobbers, Stobzilla, The Cat) have expiring contracts, and Charlotte will probably have some money to spend on salary.
 
Those four end up in one single team and I might consider retirement.

I actually really want to see them on a team together.

It makes it more satisfying when we show them how feeble and insignificant their human efforts are.

BenitoSTARR is our MVP for 03/04! He beat hobbers by a tiny margin, and in fact was behind him for most of the season. Solius rounds out the All NBA 1st Team, with altodevil and Dr. Dwayne appearing in the 2nd Team, as well as V.O., oneniltothearsenal and P-Nut in the 3rd Team. altodevil, hobbers, Solius, oneniltothearsenal and BenitoSTARR all also appeared in the All-Defensive Teams, and no points for predicting that altodevil would become the Defensive Player of the Year. Again. On top of that, Solius was both semifinals and finals MVP - and he, The Cat and weetee all won their second championship ring.

Oof sounds like my buzzer beater was crucial in the finals.
 
@nimic we see you trying to sneak your LeBron James Atlanta team into the championship!
 
04/05 Draft and Free Agency
04/05 Draft and Free Agency (and some trades!)

So, I just realized that quite a few trades actually take place in this game during free agency. The reason I didn't notice is that it puts those trades in the previous year, and I stop checking trades after the trade deadline. Because it's the trade deadline. The only reason I noticed this time is because... well, we'll get to that.

First, the draft! The top 12, anyway.
  1. Dwight Howard (57 overall) to the Portland Trailblazers
  2. Luol Deng (55) to the Boston Celtics
  3. Andre Iguodala (59) to the Indiana Pacers via the Minnesota Timberwolves
  4. Josh Childress (56) to the Milwaukee Bucks via the Cleveland Cavaliers
  5. J.R. Smith (55) to the Los Angeles Lakers
  6. Trevor Ariza (52) to the Los Angeles Clippers
  7. Josh Smith (53) to the New Orleans Hornets
  8. Shaun Livingston (46) to the Dallas Mavericks
  9. Devin Harris (54) to the Indiana Pacers via the Philadelphia 76ers
  10. Ben Gordon (54) to the Phoenix Suns
  11. Al Jefferson (43) to the Seattle Supersonics via the Washington Wizards
  12. Emeka Okafor (55) to the Miami Heat

Free Agency:

@The Cat has signed a new contract with the Seattle Supersonics worth $5.7M/yr through 2008. The Cat knows a good thing when he sees it.
@Stobzilla has re-signed with the Memphis Grizzlies for $3.78M/yr through 2008.
@altodevil has signed with the Los Angeles Lakers for $14.26M/yr through 2009. It's not Seattle, but they do spend a lot on coaching and physios.
@hobbers has decided he wants to try something new, and so has chosen the newest thing around and signed for the Charlotte Bobcats for $14.44M/yr through 2009.

Trade News (only big trades involving you or your teams)

It seems like the Miami Heat are actually going for it. @oneniltothearsenal can decide for himself whether this seems worth it.

This marks the first time the 76ers have been Cafite-less since we started this thing. I guess they're tanking, but was it really worth it getting rid of a young, good and not very highly paid @reelworld? Their loss is his... gain? Time will tell.

A clear statement of intent from the Nets, getting rid of older or worse players, plus some draft picks, to acquire @sebsheep.

Now that's surprising! @weetee just won his second title with the Supersonics, and they decide to turn him into 3 other players (and a worthless draft pick). I guess they might have started regretting handing him that massive contract, though it did lead to a couple of championships.



 
Lakers baby - who cares about the roster, I'm a Lakers centre.
 
Have Charlotte already done the expansion draft?
 
Finally Eastcoast!
Feck the Sonics - ungrateful bunch. Top teammates though.

:lol: great coincidence as I'm actually a Suns fan, and I had Steve Nash in mind when creating the player
 
Swapping Western conference playoff battles for Eastern conference playoff battles :drool:
 
Can we have a power ranking?

Thanks! Seems like Pacers really regressed this season. :lol: Feck it, thought we could do a treble with the Sonics at least.
